I've must have went through quite a few videos before I found yours. I'm new to stenciling and you were the only one who brought up the foam brushes but I think I'm going to get the makeup sponges even though I had that spray adhesive I think I want the tape also
Yes, Johanna!! So glad you found the video and suggestions. It's good to try each of them so you can find the one that fits best for YOU! Have fun creating! And thank you for tuning in!
Thanks for the tip on where to get quality stencils. I picked some up at Michael’s and they were just cardboard and probably only one time use. I was going to try to cut some on my cricut but can’t find quality plastic to do it.
I was at the craft store a week ago and found some sponsors to apply my paint with and the sponsor had a end or you could screw the paint bottle on but I found out doing it that way was not good the paint was too runny and my stencil didn't work out right so I'm going to stick to just using the sponsor pad instead of applying the bottle to it
I have thinking about those disposable foam applicators or makeup thingies, even if you reuse, all that acrylic paint is going down the drain. Which is worse, I do not know. Hard to say, I just hate the throw away society we live in I know it should be kept within reason. Sorry if I was out of line.
Hey Summer!!! thanks for tuning in! I've been using the Essential Stencil stencil brushes, which I love...they come in 4 sizes!!! Or if you're doing a large porch leaner / vertical sign you can use a roller!!
Hey Summer!!! I'm just seeing this now!!! How bizarre! If I'm doing a large porch leaner a paint roller works great for even coverage and it's much faster!!!
Cost effective but hardly good for our world especially with a bunch of acrylic paint on it. It all ends up in the landfill that our kids will have to 😢deal with. Please think about it. Other than that awesome video. Man,y thanks!

Great Job every time. Thanks Grace. Really enjoy watching you work.
cindy borgen thank you for the positive and encouraging comments!
EXCELLENT video! Thank you so much!
Hi Grace, when you paint your boards with chalk paint, do you need a special brush? I have acrylic brushes.
No special brush needed. Use the one you like.
Thank you!
Great info. Only thing missing was cleaning stencil.
When stenciling on fabric such as t-shirts or tote bags do you have to put a base coat down where you're going to stencil
No you don’t.
I was just gonna use one of those because those pouncers leave a lot of air bubbles.

I wash and reuse my foam make up brush wedges so they last me a long time! I know what you mean! so much waste .....
What do you use if you are using one of the large stencils? Do you still use the small sponges?
